Taking place before the events of the first comic book issue, the game stars Bigby Wolf, the former fairy tale Big Bad Wolf who has been exiled to New York City.

Under orders from Snow White, Bigby acts as the sheriff of Fabletown, a community of fairy tale creatures that is kept secret from the rest of the city.

Players will encounter other fairy tale characters who have set up shop in the real world, including Pinocchio, the Three Little Pigs and Mr Toad, each realized in the style of the comics.

"Developing The Wolf Among Us based on the Fables universe has allowed our studio to build upon all of the hallmarks of what makes our episodic series so engaging for players," Telltale CEO Dan Connors said.

"Through an evolution of our approach to choice and consequence, we can further explore the complexity of each and every iconic character in a universe rich with untold history from the darkest sides of the storybooks."

The Wolf Among Us is scheduled to release this summer on PC, Mac, Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.
